Summary:

A U.S. study may lead to a major advance in human regenerative medicine, the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology says. Research conducted at Stanford University shows a human evolutionary ancestor, the sea squirt, can correct abnormalities during a series of generations, suggesting a similar regenerative process might be possible in humans.
